My Cyber Week shopping strategy tends to fall into one of two camps: grazing or hunting. Grazing involves leisurely sifting through page after page of Ssense sale items and scrolling through roundups to see if anything sparks joy. (If this is you, may I recommend our guide to the best Cyber Week deals everywhere or the best fashion deals?) Grazing is chill; hunting is not. It involves manically price comparing, signing up for emails and text alerts so you can maximize your discount, and dodging sponsored Google results to find the absolute best price on some grail — a Le Creuset Dutch oven, a Babaà sweater, etc.
This guide is for the latter camp, the deal hunters. I’ve consulted my Strategist colleagues across many beats — kitchen, beauty, outdoors, tech, fashion, and more — and embarked on a retailer-agnostic search to find the best price possible on popular wish list items. If we’ve missed an item you’re watching (or a deal!), let me know in the comments — we’ll be checking back throughout the day to make sure that this list is current and everything is in stock.
Update on December 2, 2024: Added Yamazaki deals; updated prices and checked stock for all products.
The best Le Creuset sales
A Le Creuset Dutch oven is on sale at Wayfair for 20 percent off only in the “meringue” colorway, and there’s a good sale on the brand’s shallower, wider model. But according to Strategist food and dining writer Emma Wartzman, Staub actually makes a better Dutch oven — and it’s 63 percent off at Williams Sonoma for the four-quart size.
The cheapest KitchenAid mixers
The best price on Hasami plates …
… Is at Good Friend. The black colorway is already on sale there, and you can take an extra 20 percent off with the code THANKFUL.
The best deal on the Dyson Airwrap
If you were waiting for the cult-favorite Dyson Airwrap to go on deep sale, I am sad to report that your wait continues. It’s a couple of dollars cheaper at Amazon than anywhere else, with a total discount of 18 percent.
The best deal on Fjällräven Kånken backpacks
The status backpack is part of Urban Outfitters’ 40 percent off sale, but act fast — there are only a few colors left in stock.
The best price on AirPods
The new Apple Airpods Pro 2 are cheapest at Amazon, where they’re 38 percent off.
The best deals on Dyson vacuums
Our Best in Class vacuum is the Dyson Gen5Detect, which is 26 percent off at Amazon (like the Airwrap, it’s a dollar cheaper there than at other retailers). There are also deals on the very good V11 at Best Buy and on Dyson’s website.
The best deal on Augustinus Bader’s The Cream
The celebrity-favorite “rich people cream” is cheapest at Sephora, at 25 percent off for a half-ounce mini-size.
The best Solawave sale
The viral red-light wand (read our review here) is cheapest at Amazon — remember to click the coupon for an extra 10 percent off.
The best deals on designer scented candles
They’re scattered across a few different retailers, but here’s a selection of fancy scented candles that are 25 percent off or more.
